Attempt - At 11:37 a.m., Officers responded to the 33000 block Falcon Drive for a report of an attempt residential burglary. The reporting party had reported to dispatch that an alarm was activated at her residence and multiple (3-6) black male subjects in their late teens to early 20's were seen leaving the area in a white/tan (2-tone) sedan type vehicle. The suspect(s) attempted entry into this residence by removing the screen from a window on the north side of the home. The window was locked and multiple attempts to pry the window were not successful. A witness stated that the suspect vehicle circled the surrounding blocks at least 4 times before the attempt burglary took place. A witness was a short distance away, when they heard the alarm go off. Immediately after, the witness observed three black males running from the area of the residence. The males got in the waiting vehicle and were last seen driving eastbound on Lowry Rd.

Commercial Burglary At 6:24 a.m., Officers were dispatched to the New Horizon School located on the 2000 block of Peralta Boulevard to investigate a commercial burglary.
